“And very, very, funny. Warm-hearted and wonderful, this is the best in a stellar series that made me laugh out loud on a city bus in New York., and many other times, as well. I still return to this series and am captivated now as much as when they first came out. Herriot (a pen name) could tell a story in his sleep, writes as naturally as breathing, and brings the Yorkshire dales alive in all their (natural) beauty, and peculiar (inhabitants) traits. A Joy.”
